A Picasso painting sold for a record $106 million, the BBC reported.
The work is titled “Nude, Green Leaves and Bust” and was auctioned by Christie’s. The work was created in 1932. It was owned by deceased Los Angeles art patrons Frances and Sidney Brody.
The new owner of the canvas made his offer over the phone.
The sale of “Nude, Green Leaves and Bust” sets a new record for the sale of a work of art in the world. It was previously held by Giacometti’s “Walking Man I”, which sold for $104.3 million in February.
